Bruno,

For some reason, it seems like I'm still stuck with a 16MB limit. What's
going on? For example:

unix> clisp -W -m 200MB
memory size out of range
Usage:  /home/usr/lambert/clisp-1997-08-07/with-gcc-wall/lisp.run [-h] [-m
memsi
ze] [-W] [-M memfile] [-L language] [-N nlsdir] [-q] [-I] [-C] [-i initfile
...]
 [-c [-l] lispfile [-o outputfile] ...] [-p packagename] [-x expression]
[lispfi
le [argument ...]]
unix> clisp -W -m 17MB
memory size out of range
Usage:  /home/usr/lambert/clisp-1997-08-07/with-gcc-wall/lisp.run [-h] [-m

 [-c [-l] lispfile [-o outputfile] ...] [-p packagename] [-x expression]
[lispfi
